class SomeModel extends Model {
    use HasChangeHistory;

    /**
     * Attributes in $hidden array will be replaced to **** in history record.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = ['password', 'other_field'];
}

Note that history based on model events and will not be triggered using query operations

Example:

#This will NOT save a change record
SomeModel::where('is_active', true)->update([
    'is_active' => false,
]);

#This will save a change record
$model = SomeModel::find(1);
$model->is_active = true;
$model->save();

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class SomeModel extends Model {
    use HasChangeHistory;

    public array $lch_ignore_attrs = ['updated_at', 'deleted_at'];
}
